To aZZ whom it may. concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE CHAMBERS HENRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burlington, in the county of Des Moines, in the State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Enriching Composition for to add, other substances and liquids to the sirups and fiavorssuch as natural creamand mix the same with the carbonated water, thereby rendering the beverage light and frothy and richer to thetaste; but where cream or other material is thus added to enrich the beverage or give it body it is found that it at once absorbs and takes up a portion of the carbonic-acid gas introduced in. the charged water drawn from the fountain or charging tank, reducing the necessary-and desirable proportion of gas in the beverage, removing much'of its vitality, and tending to render it somewhat flat and incapable of reiaininga uniform and homogeneous form of froth or foam, somewhat resembling whipped cream, for any appreciable time. Accordingly, I have discovered that by selecting and prepar ing an enriching-liquid of proper and nutritious material possessing the capability of absorbing and being charged with carbonicacid gas and retaining the same for some uppreciable period after being freed from the pressure of the charging tank or retort, and which will expand and develop into acreamy foam resembling the condition of whip ed cream or the beaten white of and then mixingthe same withcarbonated water? run from the tank in an open goblet or re t-l, n produces a frothy or creamy condit which the foamy condition of the enrich ng material, expanded under the inlluonoo of us own absorbed carbonic-acid gas, lh llH'S thoroughly and uniformly permeated with the mixed and disseminated carlmnated \uucr drawn from the other fountain, forming a light and acceptable beverage in the form and shape and taste of a whipped cream of considerable consistency and material.

My composition for the enriching material to be used in the manner aforesaid in the preparation and manufacture of carbonated beverages consists of the following ingredi- For aten (10) gallon tank or retort or fountain, first, one-half (1}) pint infusion or tincture of sarsaparilla-root, (or its equivalents for the purpose indicated may be employed, which consist of one-half (1}) pintinfusion or tincture bark of root quillaya or one-half (5-) pound dextrine dissolved in one (1) gallon water;) second, one (1) gallon of the solution-of gelatine, composed of six (6) ounces of gelatine to properly fill the tank or retort, leaving sufiififth carbonic-acid gas in such tuantit and 1 proportion as the amount of liquid specified in charging carbonated liquids.

It is not essential that the above proportion and quantity of either sarsaparilla, quillaya, or dextrinc be strictly adhered to. It may vary to'such an extent as may be desirable to make the foam more or less compact. Either two or three of the above-mentioned solutions may be employed in one preparation, in which case the proportionate amount third the propm-lions given.

.liel'orc mixing and mingling it with car- 5 bonatcd water to he used as a beverage I prepare the enrhdzing fluid or liquid, with or l withoutsirupzs or flavors, in a separate and i iiFiiIlt'i/ liawiug the same in proper quantitiesand m ix i ug the same with carbonated water drawn l from a parate and distinct fountain. The

cuts, combined in the proportion stated, viz:

one.(1) gallon of water; third, sir'ups, with or. without flavors; fourth, water sullicient to cient space to agitate the mixture thoroughly;

will absorb under the usual. pressure employed rarbonnting lnnk or fountain, thenof each is to be reduced to one-half or oncenriching liquid retains its own absorbed lmrbouic-achi gas, and it forms a .body of l cr amy foamy material, and by being thoroughly mixed with l he carbonated water holds lilnsame thoroughly and homogeneously througiidutits structure, which it is enabled equivalent, solution of gelatin e, sirup and to retain for asufficienq time for its purpose water, and adapted to be carbonated, substan angv use. n tially asset forth.
